Calm down. The thread wasn't about bad signings it's about good players who played bad after signing for us...

Sako was a good Championship player who is likely still at that level

E.g. Paulinho to Spurs

I'm calm, thanks for checking though.

You're making my point though- Sako was indeed a 'good player' (for Wolves) and once he signed for us was shit, albeit in a higher division. We signed him for the Prem so clearly thought he was good enough, and he's failed to deliver. Based on that I don't think it's an unfair suggestion tbh

Arrived already injured, and thankfully got sold in the same condition.

Moments of brilliance, but many more moments spent in the treatment room.

Hmm, I thought Jobi was good for us.

Was only with us for 2 seasons, played 41 league games in his first season (plus 6 in cup competitions) and 34 in his second season (plus 2 in cup competitions). Scored 14 goals in all competitions. I wouldn't really say he was injured all that often? 83 games in two seasons as a winger who often got clattered by clumsy full-backs is a good return. Was sad when he left.

Quite liked McAnuff, the only negative I recall was he was another one of those wingers who wanted to play on the 'wrong' side so he could always cut in and shoot. Undermined the manager a bit with his strops, even if it was Taylor

McAnuff was very decent for us, just pissed me off he left us for...Watford!

I'll nominate Padavano.

Steveeeeeeee must win after Parish told us he was the Premier League signings of the season and Pardew claimed to have shown Pep Guardiola the way forward first with our new playmaker goalkeeper playing it out from the back.
He was wank and then just to rub it in became good again back in France!
